Skaramuca Postup Plavac, 2018

Posup appellation is known for serious and complex plavac mali wines. Not as steep as our Dingac location, these vineyards still produce rich and extracted wines but with slightly softer tannins that are ready to drink earlier. Decant this wine to reveal its aromas of cherry, fig, chocolate and hay. Enjoy it with beef stews, lamb steak, aged cheeses or bitter chocolate

Zlatan Crljenak, 2015

SUSTAINABLE FARMING This is the original and authentic Zinfandel grape! Proven by UC Davis professor Carole Meredith, this grape has ended any speculation about weather or not Croatia is the home of the Zinfandel grape. This vibrant, extracted wine offers bright fruit, fresh cherries and plums on the nose. Great structure and personality! Full body, robust, yet youthful with inviting drinkability. Enjoy it with pasta with meat sauces, roasted and grilled red meats or aged parmeggiano.

Zlatan Otok Cuvee White, 2018

PRACTICING ORGANIC All four varieties in this wine are incredibly old indigenous Dalmatian grapes that date back to the 4th century BC. This indigenous blend is a unique expression of Dalmatian terroir and each grape brings its own character to the wine. This is one of the lighter white wines from Zlatan but it is distinctly Dalmatian - straw-golden color, with denseness and minerality that leaves a thick trail in the glass. Aged solely in stainless steel tanks, it is loaded with bright, full, aromas of dried flowers, melon and figs. A bit leaner and lighter than the famous Posip, this wine is a fresh and savory Adriatic trea

Zlatan Plavac - Otok Hvar, 2015

A premium red wine from Zlatan Plenković, one of Croatia’s best winemakers, that does not carry such an extra-ordinary premium price. The wine is dark ruby in color, with a rich and layered, pleasant, and deep aroma that has undertones of Dalmatian herbs, spices, minerality, saltiness, dark fruit, and a touch of barnyard and “funk.” The wine is warm and comforting on the nose, which is typical of Zlatan’s wines and has given them a specific identity and cult-following in Croatia and Europe. It is immensely structured and balanced, and possesses a refined, complex, and an exceptional presence on the palate that is followed by a long and persistent finish. Zlatan Plavac has long been linked as the traditional drinks of fishermen, peasants and farmers, as well as the exceptional wine connoisseur, with the very best “details” that a Croatian table has to offer during a special occasion.

Zlatan Plavac Sibenik, 2015

One of Croatia’s best examples of Dalmatian coastal southern red wine, it is a little less bitter than your average classic Plavac at this price point, with it being completely dry with low residual unfermented sugar. The color is purple-burgundy with blue reflections, and the delightful aroma is unaccented, restrained, and discreet so it ends up being pleasant to all connoisseurs of good red wine. Its freshness and medium-body aroma gives the Zlatan Plavac Šibenik distinct aromas of the Plavac Mali varietal, most of which are darker cherry and raspberry fruits, currants, herbs, laced with the structure of the easily recognizable fine tannins and earthiness that are ever-so-present in Plavac Mali wines.

Zlatan Plavac, Plavac Mali GC, 2013

PRACTICING ORGANIC The self-proclaimed Grand Cru is produced from the premium juice of more than fifty-year-old Plavac Mali vines, and aged for 18 months in new barriques. It is one of the highest quality examples of Plavac Mali available in Croatia, and produced in limited quantities. This big, inky wine offers heady black fruit on the nose, along with a mild sweet oak. Strong tannins and a full body support incredibly concentrated black cherry, plum, and blueberry fruit on the palate, along with earth and tobacco. The oak is well integrated, for an excellent overall balance. This wine will develop tremendously with age.

Zlatan Posip, 2020

PRACTICING ORGANIC From the pristine Croatian coast, comes this Pošip, an ancient indigenous Croatian varietal that is extremely popular in its home country. With one of the oldest wine histories in the world, this unique Croatian Pošip has a straw-golden color, with denseness that leaves a thick trail in the glass. Aged in stainless steel, it is loaded with bright, full, and distinctive flavors, with aromas of dried apricots and figs. A bit leaner, fresher, and more expressive than what is normally found in Pošip from Čara, Korčula Island, it is a delightful gastronomical experience when paired with Mediterranean-styled seafood, dried or smoked ham, aged cheeses, and grilled pork chops.
